Partner left - struggling to cope

[ginev]

My DP of 2.5 years suddenly left me two weeks ago - walked out and left a letter saying that he was no longer happy. We've both had a lot of stress at work recently but had lots of good things planned in the coming few months. We'd been living together for the last 18 months, things had been good generally - of course the occasional argument but never anything big and we always talked stuff out. I really thought we were going to be together in the long run - we were talking about marriage DC etc.
I know there's no OW, I'm struggling to understand how/why he could do this, and how to cope on my own. He's moved out although carrying on paying rent, but I am here all on my own, with very few friends and struggling to know how to cope. I feel so low and can't really see much hope for the future or my life without him. I hate sounding so pathetic but I'm just so lonely and heartbroken.

I'm sorry to hear that, must be really hard for you. You mentioned in the letter he said he was unhappy? Is there any other reason he could be unhappy? Did you have other problems in your relationship which would explain why he left?

It will be hard but it's better he has done this now then later down the line and if you had children.

I just wanted to say I’m going through the exact same thing. It’s been 48 hours for me and I cannot stop crying and also feel as though I will never meet anyone else and like my future is hopeless as I wanted it to be with him. I have been through heartbreak before so I hope I can get through it again, and so can you. Pain is temporary and time will heal it. Please reach out to me if you feel like.
